Star Wars: Episode IX was 6th in the Atom Tickets survey. It was 3rd in the Fandango survey, which is a slippage for anticipation for the Star Wars episodes because VIII and VII were 1st in their respective years. Rogue One was also 1st in anticipation a year before it came out and it finished 1st for the year of 2016. Solo was the 5th most anticipated in Fandango for 2018 and is going to finish 10th or out of the Top 10 once Aquaman and if anything else passes it.
Seems silly to rely on an "anticipation" poll when we are still 4 months from the release of the teaser. After the marketing and the final trailer is released in October if it's still 6th in some anticipation poll then there might be cause for concern for anyone that follows box office. It also seems silly to me to compare anticipation for a film that comes out in May and a film that comes out in December. Obviously anticipation will shift throughout the year as they see these films and the marketing material for these films.
Speaking for myself, I've liked all the Disney star wars films, and think they wipe the floor with the prequels. I will watch Episode 9 in theaters if I can, but my anticipation for Episode 9 is low key and will be until the teaser. It will ratchet up to 11 for a week or two in April while the discussion about the teaser is prolific then my anticipation will simmer down until more marketing material comes out. It will go back up to 11 when the trailer is released in October. I've got adult **** that distracts me most days and cant maintain peak anticipation for any film indefinitely. I've never voted in any "anticipation" poll, but if I had I would have picked Avengers because it comes out in May and I know more about the film. If I voted in the poll in June I'd pick Episode 9 because by that point I will have watched Avengers and will be looking forward to other things.
